Do You Find Yourself Thinking Things Like...



Recommended Posts

this is the last time you'll see me like this? This is the last time I'll fly and not be able to fit my butt in the seat? This is the last time I'll wear this outfit? Are you cleaning out closets (I don't need to hang onto last winter's clothes, do I?). Are you getting out clothes you haven't worn in years? Are you thinking about the things you will now be able to do?

I haven't gone through my closet at all. I think things will keep fitting for a while yet.

I am concerned about the expense of buying all new clothes, from undies to parka. Will we need more narrow shoes, too?

All the time!! Far better to think those things instead of

"wonder if this will be too small?"

Will it hide the jiggly parts (though we all know, clothes don't hide it, they just make it more obvious we are trying to hide a HUGE body)?

will this still fit next month, week, year? or will I have to go up ANOTHER size?

I love going through old clothes and fitting. Some clothes I bought, not because I liked them, but because they fit. I now, too, only wear what I truly love.

I think of all the things that I can do, hike ( I actually hiked to the top of a mountain! a small mountain, but still a mountain!!) long walks, Zumba, fun days with my nephews and everything that I wanted to do but was too fat, ugly, self conscious and exhausted to do. I am so much more active, confident and happy!!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
